O?Neal has told teammates that Jordan has left him several messages, and is convinced that Jordan wants to play for the Heat.  O?Neal than told teammates that he was not interested in playing with Jordan and apparently got others to agree, even going as far as to try and get on of his teammates to go to management and express their collective feelings about not adding Jordan.

Miami Heat president Pat Riley has dismissed the rumors which originally surfaced in July, stating that he was uninterested in adding a player Jordan?s age.

Last week, Heat general manager Randy Pfund spoke with Jordan?s trainer, Tim Grover, and Grover gave no indication that Jordan was contemplating a comeback.  

The Heat may be able to use Jordan?s services, however, Mr. Jordan has always expressed interest in being a part-owner of a team, and with the NBA?s most dominant player voting to keep you out, his chances are minimal even if he wants to make yet another comeback.
